what do you mean by this
The assumption is Jack will make bluesky just as bad as Twitter was before elon. But then jack and liberals didn't see anything wrong with that twitter. So yeah, marginally better.
ok i see and yeah i agree to an extent. i'm assuming you don't like the current state of twitter either? your initial comment was pretty ambiguous. unfortunately, i don't think you can have something similar and as popular as twitter without it turning into a mess. so yeah, bluesky will likely just be twitter again but that's what people seem to want. attempts to do something different just don't have any mainstream appeal.
Yes I hate current twitter as well, but I think I wrote off the website back in like 2018.
I dunno, its just... People who use it are stakeholders in it, too. They're invested in having a platform that can pay the bills. Nobody seems to like youtube, but nobody is really... Quitting it, either.
It's got a lot of the same problems that twitter had before the Elon takeover. If it just ended there it would at least be a quick replacement but they had to throw in a FOMO invite system and to make matters even worse the CEO of bluesky has been sucking Elon's toes on all his shitty decisions leading anyone with any level of analysis to see that it's not going to be long before bluesky ends up just as bad as twitter is today.
